| The digital camera I have and I'm reviewing is | | | | It is great for macro, action, nature, portrait |
| Nikon D40. It is a digital SLR camera. It uses any | | | | photography. Actually as it is possible to use |
| Nikon lens. It is very lightweight compared to | | | | different lenses, Nikon D40 is effective for any |
| other digital SLR cameras. It's so very easy to | | | | kind of photography--except sports. Professional |
